To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

"hehe."

Bronya did not refute it, after all, it was not hard to see that it was indeed her fault.

She had nothing to say.

The control over her power was terrible. Although it wasn't as outrageous as she described, the feeling of not being able to utilize even half of her strength was still worrying.

Is it really necessary to master this power in eight years?

She glanced at Fu Hua, who was silently following beside her, and asked herself a question.

...

What followed was an experiment report.

The document listed the Honkai Factor she used and the time of use, as well as the symptoms that followed—fever, rash, and shock… accompanied by emotional hypersensitivity and a persistent dreaming state.

And, the ability she finally gained—to fight using emotional factors.

The paint used in the battle was simply a fluorescent protein reagent.

What she used was the embodiment of emotions.

Note ①: "Emotional Factor". It is speculated that it is formed by the combination of the subject's own emotional manifestation and the "collapse factor" in the subject's body.

The "generation" of "emotional factors" is related to the subject's "emotional hypersensitivity."

Chapter 31 High-Risk Profession - Younger Sister

The experimental report undoubtedly revealed the source and composition of the opponent's power, with emotional factors being the unique aspect upon which the opponent relied to fight.

What she relied on was the emotional strength she gained from her experiences.

Painful, yet powerful.

The scene returns to the Demon King's journey, and as Delta ironically summarized, she's entered what is likely not a boring and tedious hero game; along the way, they encounter many companions.

The spring spirit who loves instant noodles, the armed puppet Great Sage in disguise, the forest spirit Durandal, and Fu Hua, a human warrior… they all appeared on the battlefield in the last battle against the Demon King, and contributed their strength to Bronya's journey to becoming a hero.

But the dragon slayer became the dragon himself, and the former hero became the current demon king.

Why did Delta choose to participate in this long journey?

She came here with a mission, but the way to complete it is up to her... So why did she choose this somewhat frail girl?

She watched the other person's steps forward against the wind and snow, feeling utterly disappointed with this ordinary game of the hero, but... for her sister?

She forced a smile, then resumed her usual cold expression.

Not bad... Let's continue then. I hope this trip will lead to a satisfactory outcome for her.

For her, and for herself.

..

Before the gloomy and dark Demon King's castle

Seated on the throne was a familiar figure: a spiral ponytail, a slender frame, and a forced smile as if enduring immense suffering.

The demon king that Seele knew yet was also a stranger to was no longer her sister.

The fragile yet courageous has overcome countless obstacles and grown into a brave and strong person, but looking at the people before her, and those she is about to face...

She still felt the absurdity of fate, and her eyes suddenly lost their luster.

The greatest enemy she faced was precisely the closest person she had been searching for.

"Bronya... Sister... Why, why?"

She murmured, disbelief in her eyes.

So... it wasn't the Demon King who kidnapped my sister, but rather my sister who became the Demon King, right?

...

"Tsk, what a bad guy..."

"So you're just giving Seele a dark, twisted older sister? Do you want to see Seele's lifeless eyes? What a twisted sense of humor..."

Bronya raised an eyebrow, silently turning her head to complain to Luo Mo.

Her expressionless face was filled with disdain, as if to say, "Is it fun to bully a little girl?"

It seems she's not that petty... She just truthfully said "really bad," and she's been holding a grudge ever since.

Luo Mo had a similar thought in his mind, but he didn't care about the mere look in a duck's eyes.

"No, it's just a story of the younger sister saving the older sister. I wonder if the older sister feels any guilt?"

"Tsk—no wonder there were no scenes where Bronya needed to do voice acting. So Bronya was just there as background scenery?"

"Why don't we see how the Vodka Girl performs? This time, the plot is clearly highlighting Delta, which means... they're all just background characters."

"Or... do you want to become a spirit of the spring?"

"..." Bronya paused for a moment, then shook her head firmly. "Then forget it. Sirin must be furious right now. What's that saying again... 'A life ruined and no one cares, but one word, 'A-Quen,' and the world knows.'"

"To be honest, she might be a natural fit for the role... Don't be fooled by Bronya, Bronya never smiles."

"hehe."

Luo Mo chuckled twice, looking at the other person's indifferent face and the corners of their mouth that they couldn't suppress with a teasing glance.

"...Sister, don't pout so much...Or do you want to see a Seele turn evil? Don't do such dangerous things next time."

Seele boldly rubbed Bronya's cheek, her face flushed, and playfully scolded her.

[She wants to see it? I can perform for her! Seele, come on, let me do it, I guarantee your Bronya will be satisfied!]

"Bronya swears in the name of truth!"

"??"

Luo Mo glanced at the other party. "You really just grab it and start using it right away. Is this how you use the Herrscher of Truth?"

Furthermore, you are still far from the truth.

...

"Ahhh—, Spirit of the Spring, Spirit of the Spring! I swear I will never forgive her!"

"I roared like a hungry tiger," Sirin said, her eyes slightly red and brimming with tears.

Then, getting angrier the more she thought about it, she reached out and stuffed all the snacks that were part of the company's collaborations and that she had previously been reluctant to eat into her mouth, chewing them loudly as she ate.

It seemed to indicate that she was angry.

"Isn't that still you?"

Cecilia's casual remark felt like a heavy arrow had struck Sirin, instantly shattering her image and leaving her seemingly unable to recover.

Ignoring Cecilia's words, she clenched her teeth even harder.

"Hmm... Thinking about it this way, your eldest sister is still a forest spirit inside, so she's a good match for our family, isn't she?"

Cecilia looked up and pondered for a moment before giving an answer.

"Wait, I remember now, the spring spirit in that story has blue eyes, and she also has an older sister... cough cough, actually, if we're all from the same family of spirits, what kind of spirit are you, Mom?"

Sirin suppressed her joy; wouldn't it be perfect to give the Spring Spirit to Kiana?

And what about Mom? She already has an elf title, why not get one for her too?

"...Well then, let's see if you have any good ideas?"

Cecilia didn't argue, but smiled. For some reason, she thought of that pink fairy again... Is it fashionable for young girls nowadays to associate themselves with fairies and elves?

...

With Delta's help, Seele successfully defeated the Demon King.

Bronya sealed the Demon King's consciousness with her own existence, and it remains so to this day.

This has led to the current situation—if Seele is to save her, she must release the Demon King, which will undoubtedly bring more danger to her world.

"Sister Delta...you must think Seele is useless, right?"

"Even though you've trained me for so long, Seele still can't become a hero like you and Bronya..."

The girl, who had always acted so weakly and unlike any hero, smiled apologetically.

Perhaps she truly couldn't make the most rational choice between the world and the people who mattered to her...

Perhaps she was too greedy, unable to give up any of them...

But... she really couldn't bring herself to give up.
